Sept 7, 2018 - Express Tribune
KARACHI: The ashes of noted activist and senior Indian journalist Kuldip Nayar would be immersed in the Ravi river near Lahore later this month.Nayar, who was also a regular columnist for The Express Tribune, died at New Delhi’s Escorts Hospital on August 23. He was 95.
Kuldip’s ashes were brought to Pakistan by Pakistani peace activists, including former senior judge Nasir Aslam Zahid, Executive Director of Pakistan Institute of Labour Education and Research Karamat Ali, Haya Eman Zahid and Advocate Altaf Khoso.
The Pakistani activists visited India on August 31 to attend a roundtable conference on the issue of Pakistani and Indian prisoners at the Islamic Cultural Centre, in New Delhi.Kuldip Nayyar, who was born in Sialkot, passed his BA (Honours.) from the Forman Christian College, and LLB from the Law College, in Lahore.
Has the GOI any say in this :roll:
Falijee Ji :

The immersion of Kuldip Nayar's ashes would have been accompanied by his Son(s) or Paternal Grand Sons(s) or other Nephews etc. to have a Proper Hindu Ceremony along with a Brahmin Priest.

Me thinks the Government of Pakistan denied a Visa to Kuldip Nayyer's Family to perform the Final Ceremony of his ashes. :(

May his Soul Rest in Peace.

BTW : Kuldip Nayer and Late Justice Rajinder Sachar - the Son of Ex Punjab Chief Minister Congressman Bhim Sen Sachar - married each other's Sister.

I give a pertinent precis of the Sachar committee report :

In March 2005 Justice Rajinder Sachar was appointed to a committee to study the condition of the Muslim community in India and to prepare a comprehensive report on their social, economic and educational status. On 17 November 2006 he presented the report, entitled "Report on Social, Economic and Educational Status of the Muslim Community of India", to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. The report showed the growing social and economic insecurity that had been imposed on Muslims since independence sixty years earlier. It found that the Muslim population, estimated at over 138 million in 2001, were under-represented in the civil service, police, military and in politics. Muslims were more likely to be poor, illiterate, unhealthy and to have trouble with the law than other Indians. Muslims were accused of being against the Indian state, of being terrorists, and politicians who tried to help them risked being accused of "appeasing" them.

Such are the "unmentionable" Nayer - Sachar Family

The Baki police saw Indian truck and ran away thinking that the Indian army has already overran the town. This truck was destroyed by Baki air force as it took Indian army some time to reach Batapur. TATA then gave a brand new truck to this person for his bravery.
It was the braves of 3 Jat under Lt Col Desmond Hayde that captured Batapur in 1965- TWICE!
The first time round, they were forced to leave behind the captured areas due to miscommunication. Then they were ordered to capture it once again. Only this time, the PA held the town in force with one full battalion.
Defying all conventional military wisdom, the single Indian Battalion of Jats threw out an equally numerous PA battalion in a single night!

Ahmadi economist's removal: Pak editorials slam Imran Khan's capitulation to religious extremists - Shailaja Neelakantan

NEW DELHI: "Pitiful", "blatant cowering to the religious right" and "a blow to an inclusive Pakistan" is how the Islamic nation's media described the government's capitulation on Friday to religious fundamentalists by asking Atif Mian to step down from a government council simply because he belonged to a minority sect.


Not just that, two other economists, Asim Ijaz Khwaja and Imran Rasul, who were also appointed to the Khan-led 'economic advisory council' (EAC) resigned from the newly-formed body, for how Mian was dropped.

"Being a Muslim I can't justify this" act of dropping Mian, a highly regarded Princeton economist, who's said to be among the world's top 25 economists, said Khwaja.

"Have resigned from EAC. Painful, deeply sad decision. Grateful for chance to aid analytical reasoning but not when such values compromised. Personally as a Muslim I can't justify this. May Allah forgive/guide me & us all.Ever ready to help. Pakistan Paindabad",

Rasul said he's resigning because he "profoundly disagrees" with basing such decisions on religious affiliation.

"With a heavy heart, I have resigned from the EAC this morning. The circumstances in which Atif was asked to step down are ones I profoundly disagree with. Basing decisions on religious affiliation goes against my principles, or the values I am trying to teach my children," tweeted Rasul.

On Friday, days after strongly defending Mian's nomination, with phrases like "we will not bow to extremists", Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) announced that Mian will not be on the council. Mian's appointment was virulently opposed by several extremist individuals and groups, including the far-right Islamist Tehreek-i-Labbaik (TLP) Pakistan.

These people believe Mian has no place in a government body simply because he's an Ahmadi and because his sect doesn't believe that Muhammad is the last prophet sent to guide mankind. In fact, a minister in the PTI government even referred specifically to Mian's faith being the reason for dropping him.

"A pitiful surrender" is how newspaper The Nation titled its editorial condemning Mian's removal.

"What is most worrying is that this decision displays PTI's lack of grit, indicating that the party will be unable to withstand pressure from religious groups in the future as well, which will only become more violent and active now that their demands are met," said the editorial.

Is it now going to be more of the same then with this government, which in its first weeks, showed signs that it was indeed going to keep its promises of building a 'Naya Pakistan' - 'New Pakistan' - where corruption, nepotism and discrimination have no place?

The Nation believes so.

"Perhaps we should have known it was too good to be true. The PTI government had been having a honeymoon period for its few weeks- with several on-the surface successes like the cancellation of the Dutch cartoon competition and its austerity promises; the government's conviction on a tone of reconciliation and betterment of the country made us believe that the party's tendency of backing out of its promises would not spill over to its governance. Alas, we were wrong," lamented the editorial.

Dawn's editorial said that the campaign by far-right religious elements to remove Mian "threatened to engulf the PTI government in a crisis that, sadly, could have quickly spiralled out of control."

The editorial was very likely referring to the extremist TLP's demonstrations last November that brought Islamabad to a near standstill. The group was protesting what it believed was a watering down of the country's stringent blasphemy laws. The then government capitulated to the TLP's demand to remove the law minister who then resigned.

Still, bowing to extremists' demands isn't the way forward, said Dawn. In fact, it makes extremism mainstream like was demonstrated in the recent general elections in Pakistan.

Consider this: The TLP was formed as recently as in 2015 and yet it fielded a whopping 152 candidates. By comparison, parties that have been in Pakistani politics for decades fielded just between 40-75 candidates more than the TLP.

Then there is an outfit called the Allah-o-Akbar Tehreek (AAT). This is the platform for none other than terrorist Hafiz Saeed's Milli Muslim League, which has been denied registration by Pakistan's election commission, due to its links with the banned Saeed-held Jamaat-udDawa. AAT fielded 43 candidates in Punjab and seven in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, for a total
of 50.

Rounding off the Islamist trifecta was the religio-political parties' alliance - Muttahida Majlisi-Amal (MMA)- which comprises the ultra-conservative, Islamist, religious, and far-right parties of Pakistan that was formed back in 2002. This lot, headed by Jamiat Lemma-iIslam chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman, put up candidates in 173 constituencies.

In fact, while counting of votes was underway and it emerged that Khan's PTI was leading but would be short of a majority, there was even talk of PTI seeking the support of MMA. In the end, it didn't have to, because PTI got a whole host of independent winning candidates to support it and make up the numbers.

In this scenario then, what was the need for Khan to accede to extremists' demands?

"The PTI has clearly erred in both strategy and political will…," said Dawn's editorial.

Khan's capitulation will cost the country's economy too. Pakistan's financial state is dire. US network CNBC said last month that Pakistan's foreign exchange reserves are at four-year lows, which are pressuring the local rupee and triggering worries that Islamabad may soon be unable to finance monthly import bills. And of course, it is awash in external debt,
"having taken on loans from China for the $62 billion China-Pakistan Economic Corridor," said CNBC.

Mian is a highly-regarded international economist who could help pull Pakistan out of the financial mess it's in. Even the government's own information minister Fawad Chaudhry - at the time when PTI was saying it would not bow to extremists- talked about what an asset Mian would be.

"This is a man who the entire world is saying will receive a Nobel Peace Prize in the next five years. He has been appointed to the economic advisory council, not the Council of Islamic Ideology or something else," said Chaudhry.

An editorial in newspaper The News International said that getting Mian to resign doesn't look good even for the economy.

"This blatant cowering to the religious Right does not bode well for the much lauded EAC, which was supposed to comprise the cream of Pakistan's economists and the private sector," it said, referring sarcastically to how the PTI described its decision to drop Mian as a "tough" one

Mian himself said he resigned for the sake of the PTI government's stability, which he said had been under a lot of adverse pressure from Muslims clerics and their supporters, reported Dawn.

Fully Posted on the CPEC Thread

Regarding the Removal of Dr. Atif Mian Immy the Dimmy took advantage of the Fundamentalists hatred for the Ahmedis as IMO the comments hereunder by Dr. Mian :

Govt seeks to reset CPEC priorities - Shahbaz Rana
ISLAMABAD: Amid uneven progress under the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), the PTI government has decided to give a push to neglected areas and declared development of Gwadar as its top priority, rekindling hopes of developing the country’s hinterlands.
A few days ago, economist Dr Atif Mian had said there was a blanket ban on any objective assessment of CPEC. He said the media also feed the frenzy that CPEC was a “game changer”, which led to development of a big bubble in the port city (currently largely sand) of Gwadar.
Dr Mian said that Pakistani government funded large infrastructure projects through China’s Belt and Road Initiative, which became one of the reasons for external debt rise. The borrowing raised domestic demand “artificially”, making Pakistan more expensive and less competitive globally, according to one of his tweets.
[
b]He criticised the idea of borrowing from outside for building infrastructure or institutions. Dr Mian argued that because of this approach Pakistan suffered an extreme version of Dutch Disease.[/b]
Through his tweets, he said most of borrowing and spending deals were highly opaque.” No one really knows what’s going on.”
He argued that deals have to be structured properly, with proper macro-prudential framework. “Unfortunately, none of that was done.”

Man Jumps From Burning Plaza Building And Dies . Paki Fire Fighters Fail To Save Him !

Man dies after jumping out of burning plaza on Lahore’s MM Alam Road
LAHORE – One of the two men, who jumped out of a shopping mall in a desperate attempt to escape the blaze, has been confirmed dead, hospital officials said Saturday.
The deceased has been identified as Imran, son of Ikram. He was being treated at Services Hospital, with another man, before he succumbed to his injuries.Firefighters managed to put off a massive fire erupted at the building in the heart of Punjab capital after hours of hectic efforts.
Seven fire tenders took part in extinguishing the fire.Lahore Deputy Commissioner Captain (r) Anwarul Haq said that the fire brigade personnel immediately arrived after the blaze erupted at the building’s basement.
Not sure what procedures were in place (i) for emergency exit from the building in case of fire (ii) what assistance was made available for safe jumping from the roof . Negligence factor should not be ruled out !

Pakistani expat in UAE donates part of salary to Indian flood victims
ABU DHABI – A Pakistani man living in the United Arab Emirates has contributed part of his salary to the Kerala Chief Minister’s relief fund to help flood victims in India
An insurance professional from Karachi living in the UAE for the last six years, Rizwan Hussein said he got involved in the situation in Kerala through a Malayalee friend ( Muslim or Hindu :roll: ) and colleague, who was helping in rescue and relief efforts as floods wreaked death and destruction across the South Indian state.
“I grew up in Pakistan and spent the most of my adult life surrounded by these prejudices against Indians. Hindus . :twisted: I am sure, it is the same on the other side of the border too. :roll: But when you start living in another country, and interact with Indians, ( Hindus or Muslims :roll: ) you realise people are all the same everywhere. The borders are in our minds,” Hussein added.
His open-mindedness needs to be appreciated !
Pakistan’s Prime Minister Imran Khan had also offered to provide “any humanitarian assistance that may be needed” for the flood-hit Indian state.
India has declined all foreign ( Govt ) offers of help. Not sure if it applies to individual aid from foreigners or not .

Plans Already In Place For Mrs Mirza's Expected Baby :mrgreen:

Sania Mirza leaves an emotional message for hubby Shoaib Malik
Sept 8, 2018
ISLAMABAD - Sania Mirza , wife of Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Malik is missing her husband and has left a heartfelt message for the hubby at this critical juncture of her life.
Recently, Mirza celebrated her last month of pregnancy with her family excluding Malik, who is currently busy with his cricketing tour.
Sania took to her Instagram handle to share some pictures of her ‘pyjama party’. The tennis star also said that she misses her hubby Shoaib Malik as he is away for the upcoming Asia Cup. “My life…. missed you Shoaib Malik but duty comes first,” she wrote.
Shoaib and Sania are expecting their first child due in October. Speaking about the birth of the child Shoaib recently said in an interview that their child will not have Pakistani or Indian nationality.
:roll: It is possible to "purchase" nationality for the child by having birth delivery in that country. Some countries, for that reason, do not allow visas to visibly pregnant mothers. United States and Canada are the only first world countries who allow this practice
The couple might have planned some other country for child’s birth. Sania Mirza had already announced that their first child will have Mirza-Malik as surname.
But when you a world famous Tennis Star many options become available to you !
A Visibly Pregnant Ms Mirza !

Immy's Naya Pakistan Disowns One Of Their Own Talented Due To Extremist Pressure !

The abandoned Article 27
The News International
Sept 8, 2018
The country we live in today, no longer stands on the grounds laid out by Jinnah, who had given all he had to provide the Muslim minority of India with a safe haven called Pakistan; the same Pakistan which is no longer a home for its own minorities.
Atif Mian’s withdrawal from the Economic Advisory Council (EAC) coming forth for mere religious motives, fueling the country’s extreme right winged mobs as result, has brought about a collective national failure that sadly a hefty part of Pakistan is even refusing to recognize.
No less than Imran's Ex Jemima has "expressed disappointment" from this U Turn done by the Kaptaan !
Following the contention the meritorious economist landed in, he himself had proven to be more Pakistani than the fumed extremist crowds flaunting ferocity at the label of patriotism.
Now that the right-wing brigade has routed sanity on all levels in the country, what does the future hold for the EAC, the government and the country’s forsaken minorities and their constitutional rights all together?
“You are free; you are free to go to your temples, you are free to go to your mosques or to any other place or worship in this State of Pakistan...you may belong to any religion or caste or creed - that has nothing to do with the business of the State.” In spite of Jinnah saying this and proving it by appointing an Ahmadi Foreign Minister, Muhammad Zafarullah Khan in 1947, the country’s unfolding destiny has only sparked the monster of intolerance.
Truth be told , DJinnah was no secularist !

I disagree with both points. Mianji is an academic with background in macro-economics but little practical experience. People keep harping that Mian is "world's top 25 economists".

BS!

In 2014 IMF identified twenty-five young economists who it expected back then to shape the world's thinking about the global economy in the future. https://www.ibtimes.co.uk/imf-lists-25- ... ts-1462827. All these young economists were at that time under the age of 45. The list does not rank these young economists as it is impossible to do such a subjective thing. This is a list to keep an eye on (in 2014!). No one heard of Mianji's economic miracle after that.

Secondly, for the pakis to claim that Mian will most likely receive the Nobel prize. Dream on. Once his qadiani credentials are known, if he is even nominated for a Nobel, he will get the same treatment as abdus salam.

Chinese FM meets army chief, appreciates CPEC security
A Chinese delegation led by Foreign Minister Mr Wang Yi called on army chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa and discussed matters pertaining to regional security and bilateral cooperation.
Foreign Minister said that world should acknowledge Pakistan’s efforts towards regional peace and stability.
He appreciated security provided to CPEC
Aren't security and bilateral cooperation subjects best handled by the government and its foreign and home ministries? Have those responsibilities and roles been passed on to the army?

According To This Article, Pakistan Has No Choice But To Approach I.M.F For Financial Bailout . And The Fund Will Extract A Very Heavy Price IF It Obliges Pakistan Under Its "Exceptional Excess Program"

Approaching the IMF
Dawn
Nadir Cheema, SOAS, University Of London
Sept 8, 2018
PAKISTAN’S dire need to approach the IMF for financing has been widely discussed particularly since US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s statement that any IMF programme should not bail out Chinese lending to Pakistan. The US has the largest quota (16.5 per cent) in the IMF, so its concerns obviously carry weight. However, the popular perception that an IMF programme will be tough only due to US pressure is misplaced. The real story might be the recently reformed IMF lending rules in 2016, which prevent the Fund from bailing out a distressed sovereign’s existing creditors.
In sum, if Pakistan does engage the IMF, the engagement is likely to be via the exceptional access window which has tighter conditions attached to it. With regard to debt sustainability, the Fund’s lending rules may require Pakistan to re-profile its existing debt. While this may seem like painful medicine, it may not be so bad, especially for an incoming government that can blame the current woes on the previous governments’ reckless borrowing.
Critically, a debt re-profiling could kill four birds with one stone: it would address US concerns that China should not be bailed out. It would be even-handed because all external creditors (including China and the Paris Club creditors) would be approached for a rescheduling. It would meet IMF requirements. And it would keep critical foreign exchange within the country, thus mitigating the pain that has to otherwise be inflicted on citizens. Still, Pakistan’s long-term debt problems require long-term solutions: more efficiency in SOEs, a stronger workforce, better tax/ GDP ratios, and so on.

MiceSchitt again?

600 Pak rice containers stuck up at Kenyan ports
More than 600 containers of Pakistani rice have been stuck up at Kenyan ports by Kenyan Customs Authorities for the last several weeks due to the issue of Phytosanitary protocols.
Kenya have not instructed their counterparts in Mombasa to come to a resolution by resampling of the containers in their presence. This is highly unjustified step by Kenyan authorities
On one hand phytosanitary conditions (Aflatoxin, Pesticides & Microbiology) are tested in Nairobi and on the other hand the broken percentage is verified in Mombasa.
Just to remind that in February 2018, Kenyan authorities sealed warehouses of Pakistan rice importers and arrested Pakistani rice marketers based on allegation of money laundering, terrorist financing and fake passport, fake visa without evidence.

Afridi denies chewing 'naswar' during Defence Day celebrations at GHQ
Former Pakistan captain and all-rounder Shahid Afridi on Saturday has responded to allegations that he chewed naswar during the Defence and Martyr’s Day celebration at General Headquarters.
In the video, Afridi could be seen sitting in the audience and covertly tucking what was said to be naswar under his top lip.
The cricketer responded saying he was eating fennel seeds and clove.
Naswar: tobacco, slaked lime, indigo, cardamom, oil, menthol, water.

The Comedy Scene In La-Whore . Who Says That Pakis Are Prudish :twisted:

Time for dirty comedy in Pakistan is now, says first drag queen comedian
The Print
Ammara Ahmad
Sept 8, 2018
It’s a packed hall of young Pakistanis at Olo Junction in Lahore. The queen steps on stage in five-inch heels and a purple Maharashtrian saree, with matching purple hair extensions. As she dances sensually to the Kareena Kapoor song “Fevicol Se”, the crowd whistles and screams. She struts her stuff, opens her legs wide, bends over and drops her pallu in typical Bollywood dhak-dhak style.
Muhammad Moiz is Pakistan’s first drag queen stand-up comic. Last month, he started his cleverly titled show “Liberals ki Akhri Saazish” in Lahore. Moiz introduces his drag female personality as Phudina Chatni (a provocative modification of the word Pudina Chatni or mint sauce) and a “whore”. Mixing Punjabi profanities in her Urdu, Chatni launches into a series of self-depreciating sexual jokes – her sex addiction, fondness for hairy desi men and her Marathi boyfriend whom she met in the US.
Muhammad Moiz - in local lingo- is a Hijra ! Transgenders have been accorded official legal status as a third sex . Pakistan has thus joined the ranks of first world nations . But that has not stopped these "poor creatures" of becoming shooting targets by the Islam Brigade :mrgreen:
“Marathis are the Pathans of India”, she says in a veiled reference to the famed homosexual tendencies in the Pashtun community. He/she should now be " careful" of the Pathani reference, considering the ethnicity of the present PM Of Pakiland !
Pakistan is going through a sexual revolution, of sorts. More young Pakistanis are pursuing a college education and spending their time uninhibited and unsupervised by elders. Coupled with easy access to *****, Western entertainment channels like Netflix and travel opportunities, sexual attitudes have changed in the country.
Officially, Pakistan - like Saudi Arabia - is an Islamic Republic . Unofficially, it is anything but :mrgreen:
But the older generations, mass culture and Pakistani mainstream media still espouse traditional sexual behaviour. This is what Moiz’s character Phudina capitalises on – the cultural hypocrisy of parents who want to marry their gay sons to women unknowingly, girls pretending to be virgins and gay couples introducing each other as “just friends” to their families.
All sorts of sub cultures exist in Pakiland , depending on one's taste . Access is easy if one knows the right connections and /or money to burn :mrgreen:
The one-hour long dirty comedy show with an LGBT streak, is sort of a final frontier for Pakistan’s liberals, says the 27-year-old Moiz. A public health professional who just returned after his Fulbright programme from the US this summer, Moiz gets a standing ovation after the show. Young men and women flock to him after the performance to tell him that they found the act emancipating.
Most likely, the Islam Brigade in La-Whore has already marked him "fixing" . It is only a matter of time that his "act" will be shut down, or he will be chased out of town or out of the country . Unless, he has a very very high sifarish ( which may mean that either is a son, daughter, mother, father, sister, brother , uncle, neice, nephew, cousin, etc etc of a high level politico, bureaucrat or a fauji !)
“TV show host Begum Nawazish Ali is essentially a drag character. The character Moin Akhtar created with the name ‘Rosy’ was a drag character,” said Moiz. “But the term drag has been recently popularised by the famous TV reality competition RuPaul’s Drag Race. My understanding of drag comes from that show.”Tickets to Moiz’s show were pegged at over Rs 1,000 and the audience was predominantly young. It was co-presented with Anaya Shiekh, a transwoman comedian.
Last year, Moiz became a star on social media with another fictitious character called Shumaila Bhatti who covers her face with a Snapchat filter. Shumaila is a young, virginal, middle-class woman who shares her daily frustrations on Instagram. Phudina, on the other hand, is far less conventional and much more intrepid.How much of Moiz is there in Phudina? “All of it. Phudina is actually Moiz in drag. Phudina comes to me much more naturally. She is Shumaila on steroids.”
When normal male -female , boy-girl interaction is "haram" under the precepts of Malsi , people resort to the underground scene like these !
He is originally from Abbottabad, a town in the northwest of Pakistan. His father is an ophthalmologist and his mother looks after the family in his hometown. Moiz has five older sisters. His family follows his online presence but urges him to focus on his ‘real’ career and do this on the side.
So, his family is "liberal" and supporting of his unusual career :mrgreen:
“There is a voice that needs to be given to sex positivity in Pakistan because people are having sex and everyone knows it. Whenever we start looking at sex we look at it from an angle of morality. It is never about what is having sex like in Pakistan,” Moiz says.Does being as openly sexual and performing as a drag queen in a conservative country like Pakistan scare him? “I have never had fears. Never,” he says.At one point, Phudina’s co-presenter jokes on stage that most lesbians pretend to be sisters in Pakistan.
“These are the real sisterf**kers,” Phudina says from behind her.
Bet, Moiz does not believe in Ramazan, Hajj or Namaz ! And indulges in other "forbidden fruits" (like the Kaptaan ! )

Imran At One Time Was Ready To Make Atif Mian Finance Minister Of Pakistan :shock:

A New Pakistan Government, a New Way to Persecute Ahmadis
K.K. Shahid
The Diplomat
Sept 8, 2018
On Friday, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government asked economist Atif R. Mian to step down from the Economic Advisory Council (EAC) owing to a backlash over his Ahmadiyya faith.The objection was raised by radical Islamist groups like the Tehreek-i-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) and opposition parties led by the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), which submitted a notice in the Senate against the appointment of Mian to the 18-member EAC that is to advise the government on economic policy. But after a week of resistance, which echoed with refusal to “bow down to extremists,” that is precisely what the new government in Pakistan eventually did.
Imran is well known for his U Turns !
Of course, the widespread hate and antagonism against the Ahmadiyya Muslim community in Pakistan is nothing new. It became state sanctioned in 1974 when the Second Amendment to the Pakistani Constitution officially excommunicated the Ahmadiyya sect. This barefaced religious persecution evolved into full-blown apartheid against the community through the Ordinance XX of the Pakistan Penal Code, which criminalized Ahmadis “posing as Muslims.” The extent of this apartheid can be seen in banners and posters across the country forbidding the entrance of Ahmadis.
ZA Bhutto, institutionalized the apartheid of Ahmedis to cling to power - to appease the Mullah Brigade. It did not work . Zia deposed him. But the law, remained on the books !
t is self-evident that Imran Khan and his cabinet ministers were fully aware of what they had signed up for when they decided to include Atif Mian in the EAC. In 2014, Khan had announced his intention to make Mian his finance minister once he formed a government only to back out after finding out about his faith.
Therefore, presumably once Khan decided to take Mian on board, he was ready to face the heat and slug it out. This was also evident by the statements of the Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry, who vowed to unflinchingly safeguard minority rights and dubbed those questioning Mian’s appointment “extremists.”But it turned out to be rhetoric of the most dangerous kind, given that the government capitulated without even being threatened by a radical Islamist mob.
And of course, one should not forget the influence of the Peerni . A marital spat has now been avoided :mrgreen:
Unlike the past, this surrender is particularly damning. In immediately contradicting its position on separating merit from religion and securing minority rights, the government has now established, quite clearly, that it would be doing none of what it had vowed.
And so, while overlooking Atif Mian from the get go – until at least sufficient groundwork for religious tolerance had been laid – would have meant failure to challenge the bigoted status quo, backtracking after his appointment reinforces that bigotry against the minorities at a time when Ahmadis are being killed and their mosques are been set afire.
This issue is unique in that it doesn’t concern the status of those communities that identify with a religion other than Islam. It hinges on the rights of those who self-identify as Muslims, which are curbed through the ideology of takfir on which every single Islamist terror group is founded.In denying them that basic human right, which paradoxically the Constitution of Pakistan upholds, the state has paved the way for the Ahmadiyya community’s pursuance of their own beliefs and rituals being dubbed blasphemous in a country where that particular victimless thought crime is punishable by death.That is why high court judges can call for the entire Ahmadiyya community’s termination, or the Council of Islamic Ideology can incite genocide as well with impunity.
The Ahmadiyya question will remain the litmus test for Pakistan’s democratic credentials, upholding of basic human rights, and freedom of religion. And Pakistan will remain an undemocratic, fascist, apartheid state till the day Ahmadis are given the right to self-identify as Muslims.Until that day, Dr. Abdus Salam and Atif Mian will be disowned by the country while the rest of the world celebrates Pakistan’s finest minds.

Paki Ayesha - An Attorney - Kills Herself And Her Two Sons In D.C.

Mother apparently shot her two young sons, then herself
Washington Post
Sept 6, 2018
The attorney had once been honored for working with ­victims of domestic violence, but authorities think that on Wednesday she fatally shot her two young sons in their Herndon home before turning the gun on herself.
Noera Ayaz’s husband arrived home Wednesday evening in the deadly shooting’s aftermath and alerted police. Officers found the 42-year-old mother dead in an upstairs bathroom from a self- inflicted gunshot wound, said her brother, Yasir Ayaz.
The apparent murder-suicide involving a woman who spent years advocating on behalf of other women and immigrants and who was active in the Muslim community baffled her family. Police did not publicly name the victims, citing a new law barring them from identifying juvenile victims without a family’s consent. But Yasir Ayaz identified them as his sister and nephews.
Ayaz, who spoke while on his way from Texas to Virginia, said he was not aware of any signs of trouble in the months leading up to the tragedy. His sister’s family lived in a large single-family home among other prominent members of the nearby All Dulles Area Muslim Society (ADAMS) mosque, where she and her ­family worshiped.
The ADAMS imam and other ­officials did not respond to ­requests for comment Thursday, but the mosque posted a brief message on its Facebook page saying counselors were available for the grief-stricken.“We mourn the loss of our beloved community members,” it read. “We take this time to be in prayers.”
Noera Ayaz’s husband ­discovered the two slain children about 6:20 p.m. Wednesday, police said. A friend who ­answered his cellphone said the husband was a private person and did not want to speak about what happened.Fairfax County police said that they are still investigating the events that led up to the deaths. The medical examiner was scheduled to conduct autopsies ­Thursday. Ayaz said his sister had a biomedical degree from Brown University and a law degree from Columbia University’s law school. Ayaz said he and his sister grew up in Upstate New York and that she had lived in Qatar before moving to the D.C. area in recent years.
. IMO, nothing should be ruled out ! Mental stress, marital spat, financial stress, lack of suitable employment, job discrimination failure to adjust in a western society after living in Qatar ( a hotbed of Wahabism )
An online article in a Turkish newspaper from 2016 listed ­Noera Ayaz as the director of the New York-based nonprofit group Women in Islam, which aims to empower women and focuses on social justice issues. The article also said she worked with ­victims of domestic abuse and helped them obtain legal ­immigration status in the United States, among other projects. Women in Islam did not respond to requests for comment.
Muslims in North America do not want to speak to media for fear of bringing attention to themselves- and getting blamed - in these "difficult" times :mrgreen:
She was also listed online as an immigration attorney with the Herndon-based nonprofit immigration group Just Neighbors. Erin McKenney, executive director of Just Neighbors, said they are “devastated.” Ayaz had worked with the group as a contractor for a few months.
She had also worked as an associate at the law firm of Baker Botts LLP, where she focused on intellectual property. The Turkish outlet, the Daily Sabah, said she had traveled widely in Japan, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, Thailand, Turkey and other countries.
“In the U.S., although there is a democratic governmental system, women are still fighting for equal pay for the equal work they do alongside their male counterparts,” Noera Ayaz was quoted as saying in the online article. “There is also an alarming number of sexual assaults in the workplace. One in six women in the U.S. are the victims of attempted or completed rape in the course of their lives. More than the political system, the underlying attitudes towards women must be respectful and dignified.” The killings come about a month after another Fairfax County mother was accused of fatally shooting two children. Veronica Youngblood, 33, has been charged with murder in that case.

The ‘stop-over ally’ - M Ziauddin

From the most ‘allied ally’ of the Cold War days to the ‘Non-Nato ally’ of the post-9/11 years we have now been relegated to the ‘stop-over ally’. As the Afghan war entered the stalemate mode and Washington started wooing India, top US officials on their way to Afghanistan or India would, on occasions, make a stopover in Islamabad just to read us the riot act. Most of the time the short and sweet message would be ‘do more or…”.

Fed up with the mantra some years down the line we started responding with our own mantra of ‘no more’ to rhyme with ‘do more’. And by the time it was President Trump’s turn to define relations between Pakistan and the US the language of the riot act had turned too insulting, too abusive forcing Pakistan to throw up its arms in utter frustration making it difficult for Pakistan to maintain a dignified relationship with the US.

The two were found disagreeing even in what was said or not said in what was actually a courtesy call by US Secretary of State Pompeo to PM Imran Khan. And a more devastating difference was detected between Pakistan’s version of what had happened during the interactions between Pakistani officials and the US visitors led by Pompeo on September 5, 2018 and that of the US State Department readout about the same interactions. Contrary to our version, the US State Department readout claimed to have said the US team conveyed to Pakistan the need ‘to take sustained and decisive measures against terrorists and militants threatening regional peace and stability.’

Of course, there was no reiteration of ‘do more’ mantra in the talks but as one could see this phrase was spelled out in more detail and to add insult to the injury the advice was not confined to terror threat to Afghanistan alone but to the whole region which meant threat to India as well.

And true enough, after the US-India talks the next day, Sushma Swaraj, India’s foreign minister addressing a joint press conference, asserted that counterterrorism cooperation between India and the US “has acquired a new qualitative edge and purpose and the two have agreed to deepen ties in international forums like the UN and the Financial Action Task Force”.

“We welcomed the recent designations of Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorists by the US. They underscore the international community’s scrutiny over the threat of terrorism emanating from Pakistan, which has affected India and the US alike. On the 10th anniversary of the 26/11 attacks, we recognised the importance of justice and retribution for the masterminds behind this terrorist attack,” Swaraj said.

“India supports President Trump’s South Asia Policy. His call for Pakistan to stop its policy of supporting cross-border terrorism finds resonance with us,” she added.

The two sides also discussed the ongoing efforts by India and the US in promoting an Afghan-led, Afghan-owned and Afghan government-controlled reconciliation process in the country.

All of this was waiting to happen. And as usual we seem to have sleep-walked into enemy territory. Of course, we can bank on our all-weather friend, China, to counterbalance the Indo-US pressure. But having its own battles to fight China is already engaged in a trade war with the US and it has just been able to cool off a very hot border crisis with India.

Therefore, we should be fighting our battles on our own rather than depending on others. To start with, we need to revisit our Afghan and India policies. In the case of Afghanistan, it would be in the interest of Pakistan to redesign the policy on the assumption that the US is not leaving the war-torn country in a hurry. Next, we should permit Afghanistan and India to trade over land via Pakistan. And at the same time, we should establish mutually beneficial economic relations with India. This will help us in getting integrated with the regional economy. This policy would not only yield massive peace dividends but would also accelerate allround inclusive growth lifting millions out of poverty in the region.

Shocking ? ( not sure :roll: ) l: Pakistan’s envoy to Italy accused of sexually harassing female officer

Pakistan Today
Sept 8, 2018
POSTED IN FULL !
ISLAMABAD: A female official of the Foreign Affairs Ministry has moved the federal ombudsman’s office against Pakistan’s Ambassador to Italy Nadeem Riaz, accusing him of sexual harassment. Pakistan Today has learnt that a complaint has been registered with the Federal Ombudsman Secretariat for Protection against Harassment of Women at Work Place which accuses Nadeem Riaz of sexually harassing a female commercial attaché.
The complainant, through her counsel Mirza Waqas Qayyum, alleged that the ambassador directed her to travel with him to places unrelated to her job. Additionally, she was also directed to arrange residence near his own. The complainant further alleges that the ambassador had also directed her to race her car with his cycle till Vatican City along with other things, unethical in nature. The respondent allegedly expressed his desire to become the woman’s driver and asked her to share an exclusive nickname with him. Furthermore, the complainant was also asked to visit forests in Rome in his company.
The complaint further noted that the ambassador called the complainant in his office and relayed to her that he understands the nature and plight of being a single woman and invited her to visit him in his room anytime if she wishes to. Riaz also informed her that he is single and divorced and shared his divorce story to the complainant in order to gain sympathy, according to the complaint.
Recalling specific incidents of harassment, the complainant said that while preparing for an upcoming Mango Show, in the first week of August 2016, the respondent performed an indecent gesture in front of her, which was objected to. However, the complainant was sexually harassed time and again and the working environment was made hostile.
The complainant also accused Riaz of trying to get in uncomfortable proximity with the complainant while showing official presentations.
She narrated two incidents in which Riaz tried to get physically close to her: one before Trade Envoys Conference in Brussels from 23rd – 24th January, 2017 and the other before the Expo-Pakistan 2017 on 8th of November when the complainant went to show the presentation for Trade Officers’ Conference on 6th November, 2017 in the office of the respondent.
As a result of the above mentioned humiliating and hostile working environment, a number of complaints were sent to the Ministry of Commerce from May 2017 to June 2018 wherein all above issues were raised.
The female official alleged that the hostile circumstances compelled her to file complaints before the departmental authorities, but they all remained unresolved. A summary for recall of the complainant was managed from Rome, to be approved with the condition of consent of the complainant. However, the complainant was recalled without obtaining her consent.
The complainant’s PERs for the year 2016-17 and 2018 are still pending and the respondent is bent upon recording adverse entries because of the complaints submitted and her refusal to give into his unethical demands.
Taking notice of the complaint, Federal Ombudsman Secretariat has written a letter to the Foreign Affairs secretary to investigate the matter and report back immediately.
The matter is currently sub-judice with the Ombudsman. While the commerce division is responding to the ombudsman, the Foreign Office did not report the matter to the women harassment department.
The spokesperson of Ministry of Commerce said that the department did not receive any complaint of sexual harassment from their officer.
Meanwhile, the Foreign Office spokesperson stated that a query has been sent to the admin department and that he will inform as soon as he gets a reply but no reply was received till the filing of this report. Ambassador Nadeem Riaz remained unavailable for comment, however, his response will be duly added to the story when he gets back to us.
A few points :
-This "sad" episode happened when NAYA PAKISTAN was not yet "born", so it would be unfair to lay blame on the Kaptaan :mrgreen:
- A prestige dept ( FO of GOP) and a high ranking official ( Ambassador Rank ) is involved, so it is understandable to downplay this matter !
- The raunchy Amb dared to do this ONLY, because the victim was a ( single and divorced ) Paki Ayesha . He would not have tried these antics with an Italian senorita !
-Hats off to the Paki Ayesha who had the "guts" to lodge a complaint. !
- Doubt that the Paki female will see "justice" in this matter. It seems that she is being given the usual runaround . Unless she lodges a "fresh complaint" with "Human Rights" Minister, Jalebi , to set the ball rolling . To ensure action against the culprit , copy should be send to SM Qureshi ( Foreign Minister) and for good measure The Kaptaan as well :twisted:

The founder of Pakistan, “Quaid-I-Azam” appointed an Ahmadi as his Foreign Minister.”
True, but the consequences of that were terrible and led to two important developments which have since caused *ALL* the problems in Pakistan, the region and far beyond.

In January 1953, the ulema of Pakistan mainly led by Jama’at-e-Islami (JI) and its chief Maulana Abu Ala-al Mawdudi gave an ultimatum to the then Pakistani Prime Minister, Khwaja Nazimuddin, to declare the Ahmedis as non-Muslims and remove Ahmedis from key government posts including the Foreign Minister’s post held by Sir Zafarullah Khan, an Ahmedi. This followed a speech by Sir Mohammed Zafarullah Khan in which he praised the founder of the Ahmediya sect as a “person commissioned by God to revive Islam”. The Jama’at-e-Islami (JI) and Majlis-ul-Ahrar twisted this as an insult to Islam and dubbed the speech as questioning the finality of the Prophet. When the Prime Minister rejected the request and started arresting key Islamist leaders, anti-Ahmedi riots rocked Pakistan, especially West Pakistan and more so the Punjab, in March of the same year. These riots lasted for almost a month and affected Lahore, Rawalpindi, Sialkot, Lyallpur (now Faisalabad), Gujranwala and Montgomerry. When hundreds died (though the military did not admit to much) and Martial Law had to be imposed, a Court of Inquiry (CoI) was setup (led by Chief Justice Muhammad Munir and Justice M.R. Kiyani) under the Punjab Act II of 1954 to investigate the causes and offer recommendations.

The CoI sentenced Mawdudi to death, an epochal judgement. But, the 'secular' Field Marshal Ayub Khan later set him free.

The CoI said in its report,”The Punjab Disturbances of 1953”, that "neither Shia nor Sunnis nor Deobandis nor Ahl-i-Hadith nor Barelvis are Muslims and any change from one view to the other (murtad) must be accomplished in an Islamic state with the penalty of death. . . And, if we were to adopt the definition given by anyone of the ulema, we remain Muslims according to that alim, but kafirs according to the definition of everyone else." and finally concluded that "no two ulema have agreed before us as to the definition of a Muslim" -- '. The Report further said, “ . . . if considerable confusion exists in the minds of our ulema on such a simple matter, one can easily imagine what the differences on more complicated matters will be. . .”. The ulema who appeared before the committee said that no legislation was needed as the religion of Islam was complete in every respect and also promised to come up with a framework for an ideal Islamic state, something they are yet to complete even several decades later. Anyhow, Gen. Zia-ul-Haq threw this report to dustbin and it was sold on the pavements in the Anarkali Bazar of Lahore, from where the noted Pakistani analyst Khaled Ahmed claims he bought a copy.

Anyway, the two important consequences of Zafarullah Khan's appointment and his later removal were the formal status granted to extremist Islamist parties in governance of Pakistan. Of course, the seeds for that had been sown earlier by Allama Iqbal and Jinnah. The latter, again a 'secularist', made all sorts of adjustments with extreme Islamists like Mawdudi himself, the extreme fundamentalist faction led by the Usmani brothers of Deoband, the Pir of Manki Sharif et al. But, the 1953 events against the Ahmedi Foreign Minister Zafarullah Khan assigned a permanent place to Islamist influence within the government.

The other important consequence was the induction of the Army into governance in the form of Martial Law in the Punjab, especially Lahore. The PA never looked back after this. Again, we know that in 1947 itself, the PA was given unbridled powers to act in J&K by none other than Jinnah himself, including mobilization of manpower on the basis of jihad, which has since become the normative foreign policy of that country.

Added later: It was finally left to another 'secularist' (in the list of Jinnah, Ayub Khan and Yahya Khan), the unimpeachable ZAB, to ex-communicate the Ahmedis from Islam.

$1 trillion - Dr Farrukh Saleem

Corruption kills. Yes, 290,000 newborn Pakistanis die every year before the end of their first month. Yes, 176, 400 Pakistani children die annually due to premature birth. For the record, “Pakistan is the riskiest country for newborns – riskiest in the world”. Solution : Babies should refuse to be born in Terroriststan!

A “baby born in Pakistan – the country with the worst newborn mortality rate – faced a one in 22 chance of death.” Pakistan’s ‘mother mortality ratio’ is also one the worst in the world. Yes, 53,000 Pakistani children die of diarrhoea caused by contaminated water every year. Terroristan should stop all "Births". Problem solved.

Corruption kills. According to the ONE Campaign, the international, non-profit advocacy group that fights extreme poverty: “The world’s developing countries are deprived of at least $1 trillion each year by criminals who exploit impenetrable secrecy to siphon off cash through money laundering, tax evasion and embezzlement.” It is the Birth Right of every Terroristani to partake in the activity of Corruption!

The average per capita income in Norway is $91,000. The average per capita income in Pakistan is $1,600. Why? What is the difference between Norway and Pakistan? Answer 1: Norway is one of the least corrupt countries. Answer 2: Norway has institutions that work. Pakistan is the 116th most corrupt country and institutions in Pakistan don’t work. This is the reason for the high rate of Unemployment in Terroristan.

The government of Pakistan buys goods and services worth $60 billion or Rs7.5 trillion a year every year. Yes, there is a Public Procurement Regulatory Authority (PPRA). But PPRA doesn’t work or isn’t allowed to work. As a result, between 30 percent and 60 percent of this $60 billion goes towards corruption. Will the PTI government be able to reform this sector? Indeed, Indood, In Bakwas - in the way Terroristanis are!

The government of Pakistan owns and operates a total of 190 public-sector enterprises (PSEs).Over the past five years, PSEs collectively lost a colossal Rs3.7 trillion. In 2013, PSE-related losses stood at Rs495 billion but in 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017, losses increased to Rs570 billion, Rs712 billion, Rs862 billion and Rs1.1 trillion, respectively. Corruption, inefficiencies, or a combination of both? Will the PTI government be able to reform this sector? Look at the Bright Side - A number of Terroristanis Grew Rich! Why be Jealous of them! :rotfl:

The government of Pakistan buys $13 billion worth of electricity a year. Around $3 billion worth of electricity is stolen and $2 billion is siphoned off by electricity producers (because of over-priced production). Will the PTI government be able to reform this sector?

Pakistan’s natural gas sector is in a mess. There’s a new kind of circular debt – Rs165 billion for the SNGPL and Rs203 billion for the SSGCL. Gas tariffs have to be rationalised and the quantity of stolen gas must be brought down. Will the PTI government be able to reform this sector?

According to UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay, “Corruption kills. Nearly 870 million people go to bed hungry every night. The money stolen through corruption every year is enough to feed the world’s hungry 80 times over”.

A talented police officer once explained to me the difference between ‘need-based corruption’ and ‘greed-based corruption’. Our problem is greed-based corruption that is killing Pakistanis in the millions. Oh Really? In Fact Terroriststan's Population is INCREASING BY LEAPS AND BOUNDS!

Norway is rich, Pakistan is poor. Norway is one of the least corrupt countries; Pakistan is the 116th most corrupt country. Norway is rich, Pakistan is poor. Norway has institutions that work; Pakistan has institutions that don’t work. I. O. W. Corruption is A way of Life in Terroristan- Why change a system which is ingrained in the Terroristani Psyche?

So they are cutting down on development that their people actually need, in order to protect CPEC that only enriches China and provides some corrupt Army fellows with moolah along with propping up their defense relationship with China?

Why stop the comparison there?
Norway has had 100% literacy for 100 years now, whereas Pakis are hovering around the 50% mark (per official statistics, reality is much worse)
Norway has genuine equality between genders and sexual orientation, Pakistan is the polar opposite.
Norway has massive oil and natural resources, Pakistan (notwithstanding the cooked up bullshit that is told to the media from time to time) has none.
Norway is virtually 100% atheist, Pakistan is virtually 100% religious yahoos.
Norway stopped trying to invade and pillage others to survive, circa the 12th century, Pakis are still a rent-seeking, parasitic kabila.
Norway has the hardworking Viking/Norse and later Protestant work ethic, Pakistan is the result of the nawabs from 'Shatranj ke Khiladi' looking for a new place to live.
Norway hasn't attacked Sweden or Denmark in the recent past, less said about the Pakis the better.

The problem with Pakis is that they think that they can fix everything by 'lobbying' or 'building a narrative' or electing a new leader. :roll:

To be fair, there are some similarities:
Norway has glaciers, Pakistan can view the Siachen glacier wistfully from a long distance. :((
Norway has Polar Bears, most Pakistanis seem to be Bi-Polar :wink:
The Norwegian's forefathers were probably the first Europeans to reach the East Coast of America, Pakistanis on 9/11 helped one of their four father's citizens fly there in planes. :(

ISLAMABAD – After an appeal made by Prime Minister Imran Khan to the nation for donations of funds to curb water crisis, residents and overseas Pakistanis have responded overwhelmingly to the national cause raising the amount to nearly Rs2 billion
The assumptions started making rounds over the internet after Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Senator Faisal Javed reportedly told PM Khan that a Pakistani-American Shahid Khan was willing to donate 1 billion USD.
However, there was no confirmation from billionaire businessman and philanthropist who is also the owner of Fulham Football Club. Meanwhile, Senator Faisal Javed rejected the rumors saying that he did not make any statement like this.
Like everything else in Pakiland, rumour is taken as "gospel truth". Remember the time, that Dus Percenti announced a "big donation" to Ajmer Sharif Dargah on behalf of GOP. Later, backtracked and said that donation was in his personal capacity . The Dargah Management had a hard time collecting the "pledge" from him. Appears to be the same kind of syndrome here . And anyway, there is nothing from the donor's side as well ! Just hot air here !
Earlier, PM Khan urged Pakistanis in Europe and the US to contribute $1000 at least, adding that no one will give us loans but we have to construct this dam. :((
The prime minister said it was important for Pakistan to build dams as failure to do so would be detrimental to future destinations. :((

Saudi Minister Calls On Imran Khan
ISLAMABAD – Saudi Information Minister Dr Awwad bin Saleh Al-Awwad Sunday called on Prime Minister Imran Khan at the Prime Minister’s office.
Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi, Minister for Information and Broadcasting Chaudhry Fawad Hussain and the secretary of foreign ministry were present during the meeting, PM office media wing in a press release said.Dr Saleh Al-Awwad said Riyadh wishes to work with the new Pakistani government. Matters pertaining to bilateral ties between the two countries were discussed in the meeting. Increasing mutual cooperation between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia was also discussed in the meeting.On the occasion, FM Qureshi stressed for enhanced economic relations between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia. The foreign minister also invited Saudi investors to invest in Pakistan.
My "gut feeling" is that something is brewing between Pakistan and Saudia. Imran is veering away from the pro Saudi stance of the previous govt . Every few days, a report surfaces that the Saudi Amb is meeting this minister or is seeking a meeting with the COAS . And a flurry of Iranis are making their way to Isloo to meet The Khan . And now this report of the Saudi Minister calling upon Imran . If Immy gives the Saudis a cold shoulder, then he should "forget" about getting some financial help from them. Best person in this matter !. Immy should talk to Raheel and see what the "court gossip" is on this subject :twisted:

One More Step, In The "Get Dar" Operation :mrgreen:

Govt cancels Dar’s diplomatic passport
The Express Tribune
Sept 9, 2018
ISLAMABAD .: The federal government has cancelled the passports of former finance minister Ishaq Dar and his wife.Sources revealed to The Express Tribune on Saturday night that the Foreign Office had cancelled the diplomatic passports of Dar and his wife, who were staying in the United Kingdom (UK).It is learnt that Dar and his wife possess diplomatic passports. Under the law, Dar was bound to surrender his and wife’s diplomatic passports within 30 days of ceasing office as the federal finance minister. After surrendering diplomatic passports, they may get ordinary passports.
They have failed to "get" Dar through the Interpol Route , now they are resorting to this tactic. Doubt that this will work . Fraudster Dar is the key to unraveling the gol-maal done by Ganja ( they are brother in law !)
Legal experts say that in view of cancellation of passport, his movement will be halted and he’d not be able travel from England to another country. However, Dar may get political asylum. Interpol has yet taken a decision on Pakistan’s request, regarding extradition of Dar. However, the agency intervenes in very rare cases. Currently, three high-profile individuals – former military ruler Pervez Musharraf, Hussain Haqqani and Dar – are absconders. However, the bench has asked the government to make efforts for extradition of Haqqani and Dar.
Mush is fauj ! Mush cannot be " touched" :twisted:
Regarding cancellation of Dar’s passport and CNIC, Rizvi said he had already moved an application to explain the process regarding the cancellation of these documents. However, he said, Dar may get political asylum due to the cancellation of his official documents. It is learnt that fresh report regarding the cancellation of Dar’s diplomatic passport will be submitted in the apex court on Monday (tomorrow). The court will take up the matter on Tuesday.
Dar is wanted in two cases. Likewise, he has also been declared an absconder by an accountability court in the Panamagate case reference against him.
With Immy in the PM chair, it will be a bit more difficult for Dar to apply for political asylum . Immy can pull some strings , with his so-called connections in Bartania !

You can see that all stakeholders in Pakistan, namely the US, China & KSA have started making visits to protect their turf by establishing contacts with new faces. The 3½ Friends are making their moves.

Paki Poachers Resorting To Hunting Harami Wild Pigs ( Boars) In The Isloo Area To Bring The Bacon Home For Their Families :mrgreen:

Gang of 16 poachers intercepted
Express Tribune
Sept 9, 2018
ISLAMABAD:
A gang of 16 poachers with 20 hunting dogs with them was intercepted by Islamabad Wildlife Management Board (IWMB) for their alleged hunting of endangered species in the Margalla Hills National Park. “This was the 30th attempt of the illegal hunting in the Islamabad Capital Territory this year which was foiled by the vigilant team of IWBM,” an official of the Board informed on Saturday. IWMB Assistant Director Sikhawat Ali said the poachers, who were in possession of sophisticated weapons and a pack of twenty hunting dogs, were besieged with the help of locals and police at H-9 forest area.
Nothing wrong in making a living - by hook or by crook - to feed your immediate and extended family . Maybe, things will change in NAYA PAKISTAN !
During the investigation, they revealed that they were hunting wild boars and their next destination was Margalla Hills Park. A fine of Rs20,000 was imposed on them under section 5 and 6 of the Islamabad Wildlife (Preservation, Conservation and Protection) Ordinance, 1979, he added.
Wonder where is the market for the meat and skin of the harami animal . Export to non -Islami nations like Chin, spike in meat demand, due to the influx of CPEC Hans , or boar meat dumped in domestic market as gosht , a haram activity under the "rules of Malsi" :mrgreen:
